So this is pretty cool. Not only do we get three football games on Thursday this week, but they’re all meaningful games in the NFC and AFC playoff races. This is, by far, much better than the usual midweek contest the NFL provides. All six teams have records of .500 or better, and two matchups feature big-time division rivals. No one is clinching anything just yet, but a few teams can start controlling their own destiny after this week. Let’s break down these scenarios game by game.
